These are "No Question" the best there is.

I have the storage cases and the Pouches, and I love them both.

I tried many cases before these, and Desmonds are the best. My daughter uses my old ones for her jewelry!!!

They have held up to my constant use and are still like new.

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can source the pocket watch storage cases exactly like the ones Desmond Lundy was selling.

I have some other ones very similar in style but the one I got from Desmond years ago is built a little better and the individual cubes are also very slightly larger in size (2 1/4" x 2 3/8") which allows some of my watches with bigger bows to fit without having to fold the bow.

Desmonds cases were green on the exterior with a green inner lining. The height on the case was also just a little deeper coming in at 1 3/8" vs 1" on the ones I see on the market now.

Any help in locating a vendor for these would be greatly appreciated.

See the post by David Abbe just above mine for a description of Desmonds cases.

Thanks
Rick

I bought mine from Ashland years ago.
You could buy the 15 cap 16s or the
12 cap 18s either for about $16 bucks as I recall

I bought all 12 cap ones so my bigger bow 16S would fit nicely
They're still holding up 20 yrs later don;t know if
they still handle them or what price is

The only ones I see on ebay all hold some different kind of watch it has a strap on both sides kind of strange. I believe they call them wristwatches?

Those are same ones I bought years ago, his
are primarily for 12 and 16S watches, some 18S will fit it but probably not all still not bad for 2019 price?
